+AER error output
+----------------
 
 When a PCIe AER error is captured, an error message will be output to
 console. If it's a correctable error, it is output as a warning.
 Otherwise, it is printed as an error. So users could choose different
 log level to filter out correctable error messages.

 the error message to root port. Pls. refer to pci express specs for
